When you open Drum Kit Designer, you'll be presented with an empty kit. Some of the new options include being able to toggle the selection of a pad by key input, or a sub-track from a pad, as well as re-ordering pads either chromatically or according to the GM drum standard. Hovering the pointer over the kit pad reveals new mute and solo buttons for the plug‑in's master track, along with an Actions button that reveals more commands than the previous right-click menu. This means you can now have multiple pads being triggered from the same input note, amongst other possibilities. For example, if a pad's input is set to C1 and its output is C2, notes played with a pitch of C1 on the master track will trigger a sound with a C2 on the appropriate sub-track.
You can mute and solo a pad's sub-track using the M and S buttons as before, but the MIDI input and outputs for each pad are now user assignable. The interface looks largely the same at first glance, offering 48 drum pads split across three pages. The upper section is shown by default when Q-Sampler Main is selected, and the lower section is accessible when you click the Q-Sampler Detail button. In the kit shown, the Kick 1 pad triggers a Quick Sampler instance, the editor for which is displayed inside the Drum Machine Designer window. As before, adding Drum Machine Designer to a Software Instrument track turns that track into a Track Stack where each drum has its own sub-track within the master track, and you can change the plug‑in used by each of these tracks to any instrument plug‑in.ĭrum Machine Designer has been updated in Logic Pro 10.5. It now uses Quick Sampler for audio samples and Drum Synth (see box) as the default instrument for synthesized drum sounds instead of Ultrabeat. Drum Machine Designer, which was introduced in Logic Pro 10.1 for managing electronic drum sounds, has been revamped in Logic Pro 10.5.
